Our Nurses: Educated and Skilled in the latest technology
The nursing team at London Vision Clinic play an essential role in our Laser Eye Surgery process. They combine the art of delivering a superior patient experience with the knowledge gained through their medical education and ongoing professional development.
Here at our Harley Street clinic, our nurses and ophthalmic technicians are there at every stage of the patient’s Laser Eye Surgery journey. They play a vital role in the patient process, taking each new patient through the screening process. They are on-hand aiding your optometrist in various tests and examinations to provide us with all the data we need to create your personalised treatment plan.
Our nurses are always happy to answer any questions and talk you through the ins and outs of every test and machine.
Should you be found suitable for Laser Eye Surgery (the vast majority of people are!), our nurses will be around in every step in the process. On the day of your surgery, they will guide you through your post-surgery care, including how to administer lubricating eye drops. And of course, you can ask them about any concerns or queries you may have, before or after your treatment.
During your Laser Eye Surgery treatment, our nurses also assist surgeons in the operating theatre. Finally, once your treatment is complete, our ophthalmic technicians repeat various tests to better inform our aftercare recommendations. So, let’s meet our team of skilled nurses!
Farjana – Ophthalmic Technician
I was raised and schooled in London. I have always worked in the health care sector, having previously held a role in a local pharmacy. I enjoy meeting patients from all walks of life and helping in their journey to see better. In my spare time, you’ll find me spending time with family and friends, travelling the world and also trying different restaurants in the UK and abroad!
Henal – Lead Intraocular Nurse
I graduated from the University of Nottingham in 2017. I spent over a year working within the NHS in the Vascular department before joining the London Vision Clinic nursing team. I am privileged to be part of such an amazing and hardworking team, and clinic and I really enjoy working in such a friendly and welcoming environment for both staff and patients. Outside of work, I enjoy exploring all that London has to offer, and you can usually find me out socialising with friends and family or exploring new areas.
Monica – Nurse
I am originally from Portugal and after completing my nursing degree, I came over to the UK for my first nursing job in 2013. More recently, I have lived mainly around picturesque Cambridge. In September 2021, I decided to moved to London which is when I started my journey at London Vision Clinic. In my free time, I enjoy exploring exhibitions around London – there is always so much happening! I also practice yoga whenever I get the opportunity.
Waheebah – Ophthalmic Technician
Born and raised in London, when at sixth form, I wasn’t sure what if I wanted to go University or do an apprenticeship. I ended embarking upon an apprenticeship in the eye health sector. I worked for Specsavers for nearly two years and then worked for an independent optician in Covent Garden. Eventually I realised I wanted to be involved in the clinical side as I already had the knowledge and experience in the optical industry.
I wake up every morning, and feel very lucky in what I’m doing now. It’s such a positive environment, and I enjoy meeting new patients every day. Outside of work I love to travel and go for picnics. I have huge passion for latest fashion/make-up!
Becky – Lead Ophthalmic Technician
I have worked in the Optical sector for over 7 years, working at a mixture of local opticians and at Moorefield’s Eye hospital as an Optical Assistant. I joined London Vision Clinic in 2019, after moving down to London from Birmingham. Everyone is so helpful and easy to talk to at the clinic, it’s a happy place to work. Everyone loves what they do. It’s a joy to work with such a great team. In my free time, I love being with my friends and family. I try to explore new areas all the time and love coming across unique and interesting places.
Rugile – Nurse
Originally from Lithuania, I moved to London in 2013. My degree was in Adult Nursing at Anglia Ruskin University, Cambridge. I later qualified as a registered nurse in 2019. I was posted to the day surgery unit but was later redeployed to the critical care unit during the Covid-19 pandemic. In 2021 after choosing to focus on Ophthalmology, I joined the London Vision Clinic. I love my role as a clinic nurse; the entire team are supportive and make working to achieve the best standard of care enjoyable. Out of work, I love spending time with friends and discovering new restaurants.
Maria – Senior Lead Nurse
I graduated as a nurse in Sweden back in 2005. After a few years within the field of surgical nursing, I decided to move to London in 2007. I started working at London Vision Clinic in 2009. It has been a long and rewarding journey, not only because of all the happy patients we have but also because it’s incredible to work with such a dedicated and hard-working team. In my spare time I spend as much time as possible with my little family of three. I have over the years really got into running and completed my first half marathon in 2024.

Before joining the team at London Vision Clinic in early 2022, I was an optical consultant and team leader for five years in a local opticians. I am a huge animal lover, and when I’m not at work I spend most of my time with my dogs, rabbits and cats! Before embarking on my career in optics, I studied horse management at Writtle College in Chelmsford for three years and now have a diploma in horse care. I volunteer at rescue centres to look after any animal in need or that needs a little more attention.
Pauline – Nurse
I was born and raised in East London and went through the usual route for school and university. I worked in various different sectors before going travelling for a year. When I got back I decided to re-train to become an adult nurse at a university in London. I graduated into the year 2020, so my first couple of years of nursing were very eventful; I ended up working in different Covid wards as well as becoming a specialised ICU nurse. In 2022 I join the London Vision clinic and completed my in-depth training in ophthalmic nursing. I still enjoy travelling and experiencing new cultures, especially different cuisine!
